Try using egg whites in the evening. Let it get hard on your face for about ten minutes and then wash it off. It stink I know but believe me it does wonder's for the skin! '-)

I think it is just probably you going through the usual "changes" that a young teen would go through.





Look at it this way...if you didn't notice anything until now, you are probably in good shape! And don't worry b/c there are probably hundreds of kids in your school who look a whole lot worse! LOL!





I know you want everything to be perfect but sometimes we can't control everything.





Hint: For clearer skin, try drinking more water in addition to your daily cleansing routine. Also avoid soda's and chocolate, those will make you break out BIG TIME!!!





Good Luck and always remeber you are beautiful and you can only be you!!!!
Reply:Perhaps you are being too hard on your skin and it is getting irritated...hence the pink/redness. Try cutting down on some products. Maybe just a gentle oil free cleanser twice a day and a light lotion for sensitive skin. The toner can be irritating, and you don't really need it. Be gentle with your skin. It sounds like switching to a sensitive formula might be what you need, and their are plenty of them out there at all prices.
Reply:sometime using lots of products for your face will do the opposite effect try to let your skin breathe a little bit. It will clear up but only if you don't mess with it alot. Its ok to use products but not every one for every different problem every day. Try to use a moisturizer under your makeup and then use a face soap while in the shower every other day unless it is sensitive enough to use every day. Use the other products sparingly and make sure to take your makeup off with a gentle soap or a makeup remover before going to bed. another thing is that different lighting will make your face look different. chances are that your lighting in your bedroom is really good and that is why you noticed it. At school, the lights probably aren't that bright so others probably don't even notice what you notice. Don't stress yourself out so much at this age. Believe me their is a lot more stresses in life the older you get.
